end
Executive Summary:
The River Arts Festival is one part of River Arts and Media’s plan to build community and bring economic prosperity to Guerneville through creative community activities. This Festival will bring a colorful and lively array of about 60-80 art and craft vendors to the streets of Guerneville and will include music, theater, kid’s activities, food & drink and more.
River Arts and Media is an entirely volunteer run non-profit organization. Its annual budget is approximately $20,000. As the River Arts Festival is new, vendor fees are kept very low to attract new vendors and build a vibrant annual event. Over time River Arts and Media intends to reach break-even on the festival, but this year funds raised through other activities, such as Give Back Tuesday at the Rainbow Cattle Company, will cover festival expenses such as four porta-potties, musicians, printing, permits and more. In 2022 River Arts and Media used the Bank of America parking lot when it was privately owned and were not charged for its use. Waiving the $400 us fee will be of great help to the festival’s overall budget.
